@canadiancal30@HWDSB It's definitely cold and windy out... The drifts of snow are up to 2cm deep in places (although most of the road and is bare).
The safety of school staff definately does matter. Being responsible adults can judge weather they can safely get into the school or need a sub.
@alluringstorms@HWDSB I agree that sometimes the conditions are so bad that the schools should be closed. The problem is that HWDSB covers such a large area that one decision won't make sense for all the schools in it. The decision should be delegated to the principals to decide what's right for each.
@Tristan64119658 @HWDSB On slipperiness: we live in a place where slippery conditions are a distinct possibility for about a quarter of the year. We adapt by shoveling, and salting.
Rarely, a storm is so bad that we need to close down to dig out. We shouldn't give up and close down *before* the storm.
@Tristan64119658 @HWDSB On fairness: I think the guiding principle should be that we should minimize the total amount of instructional time missed, instead of trying to ensure each student gets the same amount.
@user6638827636@HWDSB There was no freezing rain overnight, and none is forecast. Ice on the playground can be a problem, but shouldn't be a reason to close schools.
@Radiolab let's say the government did mint a trillion dollar coin, how would they get that trillion dollars circulating in the economy? What would become of the physical coin?
@valvesoftware From the video, it looks like the finger tracking of the index controllers is used to good effect. Will I be able to buy an index in Canada by the time this launches?
